up there. We're on episode four. If you can believe it,
3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.960
If you've made it this far, you're a true fan
4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.039
of super Fan, you get a gold Star. Is the
5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.000
podcast where we talk about basketball with no research, in
6
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.480
very unserious terms, but we talk about the things that
7
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:23.120
really mattered.
8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.440
I'm Antonio and I am Ellie. Antonio. You're so good
9
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.679
at doing those intros. You're like, hey, hey, hey.
10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.719
I learned it all from a podcast, pals.
11
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.280
Well, you're really good at it. Let me say, let
12
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.560
me say, that's probably what gets us all our fans.
13
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.039
I appreciate it, and our fans do too.
14
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:44.840
Yeah.
15
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.159
Well, we're back in the hot seats here to talk
16
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.280
some basketball now. For anybody who is following along at
17
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.399
home on a proper timeline, we just talk to basketball
18
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.159
on Saturday. And because this is a podcast where we're
19
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.159
not really obsessed with the game and stats, but we
20
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.159
love the game and we like talking about it. You know,
21
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.239
we're we're doing it for the people, but we don't
22
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:09.760
have that much to cover.
23
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:11.599
By doing it for you, guys, we're here for you.
24
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.799
You're it. They should feel special.
25
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:16.959
They should, But there are there are a couple of
26
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.760
little things that have been happening this week.
27
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.480
I think there was a really cool thing that happened
28
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.400
that we need to talk about because it happens every
29
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.400
season when a team's doing poorly, there is one person
30
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.519
who gets in trouble. It's the coach, and usually it's justified.
31
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:33.280
But I don't know that.
32
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.079
It always yea often though.
33
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.840
Yeah maybe often, Maybe usually it's not justified. Maybe maybe
34
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.840
that there are rare occurrences where the coach should absolutely
35
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.560
lose his job. And I happen to feel like there
36
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.519
are coaches who have their jobs who should have lost
37
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.280
their jobs even though they're doing kind of well because
38
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.400
they suck. But the guy who got fired this week
39
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.040
is a dude named Willie Green, and he is the
40
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.680
coach of the New Orleans Pelicans.
41
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.719
I've never heard of Willy Grain, and I forgot the
42
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:08.719
Pelicans existed.
43
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:10.439
That's why he got fired.
44
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.240
Yeah, like what the Pelicans kits real?
45
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.960
WILLI Green used to Did he ever play? Heah? Yeah,
46
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.199
so Willy Green was a player. Let's listen to the
47
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:26.719
teams that he was on and we can see what
48
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.039
we think of him as a coach. Philadelphia seventy six ers,
49
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:40.319
New Orleans Hornets at Talanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers, Orlando Magic.
50
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.159
One of those teams doesn't exist anymore.
51
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:48.599
So yeah, and all of them are questionable. Like if
52
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.719
a player came from one of those teams and wanted
53
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.400
to coach, you should say no.
54
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.439
I'd say no. Get Ellie or Antonio over there, over
55
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:57.120
this guy.
56
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:02.039
WILLI We're available? Will we know elevator doors? Willie Green,
57
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.759
Willy Green, big mean Willie Green got fired after twelve
58
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.680
games this season. His team is two and ten. Now
59
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.120
here's why this one might not be justified. His team
60
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.879
traded away Brandon Ingram to my Toronto Raptors. Brandon Ingram
61
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.759
is a fantastic scorer, but he was injured quite a bit.
62
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.199
They also have a young man whose name is Zion Williamson.
63
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.840
Here's how you might know him, and let's cut to
64
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:40.400
the chase. You don't you could he? I think right now.
65
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.400
He's known for being out of shape and having half
66
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.439
as many kids as Anthony Edwards.
67
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.080
Yeah he's Yeah, he's embroiled in some sort of.
68
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:58.800
With his X and a porn star. I think those
69
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.800
are his two the two muses in his.
70
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:07.639
Life as in his life, and he was meant to
71
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:08.280
be really good.
72
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.400
He in college, he was fantastic. He's a beast of
73
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:16.639
a human being, very very big, big man, fast, huge dude.
74
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.519
And this season he did a thing in the off
75
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.720
season that he posted all over Instagram and he wanted
76
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.480
a lot of credit for he got in shape. Now,
77
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.480
let's just break that down for a second. He's a
78
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.879
basketball player. Yeah, isn't that his job? Huge?
79
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:32.600
Congrats?
80
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.519
What I don't understand. I don't understand.
81
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.600
They're not all in shape, so but they're supposed to be.
82
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.560
Yeah, it is literally a core component of their job.
83
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.680
Well, I mean no, their job is put put the
84
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:48.600
ball in the basket.
85
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.160
But you can't do that if you're if you're carrying
86
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:58.160
around an extra hundred Well Luca, yeah, but even Lucas.
87
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.800
I think it is proven that Luca was not out
88
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.600
of shape because he could do what he could do right.
89
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.879
He wasn't like, he wasn't in Zion shape.
90
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:11.920
I'll tell you who is out of shape.
91
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:13.199
Who's out of shape? Me?
92
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:18.240
I couldn't even run run the length of a basketball court.
93
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:27.240
Breaking news me too, Breaking news me. My cardio is
94
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.399
not at its best right now.
95
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:33.600
No, my Cardio is not good. But yeah, he got
96
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.959
he got fired. But also to know is that coaches
97
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.000
always get fired in the NBA.
98
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:40.959
Always.
99
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.120
It's happening all the time. So you know, I don't
100
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.519
think this is news news, No, it just happens all
101
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:48.279
the time.
102
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.040
Well, here's the more loyalty. There's no loyalty in this part,
103
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.879
just in this part of the game specifically. But but
104
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.680
but here's what's even crazier. Okay, when a coach gets fired,
105
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.920
they replaced the coach with another coach who has recently
106
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:04.519
been fired.
107
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're like, oh, let's take the
108
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.560
disgraced former coach of the Portland Trailblazer.
109
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.920
Like it's the stupidest thing. So so the coach that
110
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.079
they're currently looking at, one of the coaches they're looking
111
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.319
at is Darvin Ham, who was the coach of the
112
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.879
Lakers who got fired after a season because they couldn't
113
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.439
win with Brownie James and that was somehow his fault. Actually,
114
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.879
maybe he's pre Brownie. I don't know. It just sounded
115
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:29.279
good when I.
116
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.720
Said it again.
117
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:37.120
Who's Darvin Ham? Darvin Ham again, former former player that
118
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.480
if we looked up his career stats, you'd kind of
119
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.120
go like, I don't know if this speeching speaking of
120
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.879
coaching and funny things the I don't know if he's
121
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:54.240
the current coach or the former coach of Minnesota, Chris Finch,
122
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.920
I can't remember. Anyways, a guy named Chris Finch was
123
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.360
on a podcast. He has coached in the past. I
124
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.959
think he's the coach of Minnesota right now. I could
125
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.319
be very wrong about that. Anyways, that part is less relevant.
126
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.560
He was on a podcast and he was making the
127
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.680
same joke that we make, which is that everybody needs
128
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.959
a podcast, that everyone who's listening to this podcast is
129
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.680
going to go home and start a podcast, absolutely, And
130
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.439
they were talking about what being a podcaster qualifies you
131
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:22.040
for and he took a scorching hot shot at JJ
132
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.800
Reddick because he said, well, you know, you get a podcast,
133
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.399
I mean it qualifies you to be the head coach
134
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:27.959
of the Lakers.
135
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.519
JJ Redick is the current head coach of the Lakers
136
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.040
and also an ex player, And go back and listen
137
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.079
to episode one to learn more about him and the Lakers.
138
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.800
He had a great podcast for the past few years
139
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.160
he did called The Old Man and the Three like
140
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.199
Easily basketball podcast.
141
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.680
One of the more famous basketball podcasts.
142
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.399
Yeah, yeah, but like just narrowly behind ours.
143
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.600
Yes, yes, yeah, obviously know this one. Obviously what is he?
144
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.439
I mean, I don't think we even need to say that.
145
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.879
So Willie Green is like he's on a list of
146
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.959
coaches fired very quickly. And I did not do a
147
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.120
deep dive on this, but I did do a very
148
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.240
cursory Google search. I think that the fastest firing was
149
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:13.519
like six games.
150
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.439
Yeah, like give him a chance.
151
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.120
Steve Nash. When Steve brought in, he was fired very quickly.
152
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.639
And he was a former player, and he was a
153
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.240
former two time MVP, like All.
154
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.560
All, All Star. He's a name you may have heard.
155
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.759
Yeah. Also you probably know him because he's Canadian.
156
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.480
Like how many how many of our listeners a Canadian?
157
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:39.639
At least one.
158
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.080
I don't want to do this anymore.
159
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.879
I think the Canadians are listening because of you.
160
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:52.600
They just love love but getting roasted that's our jam. Yeah.
161
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.519
I'm going to probably be kicked out of the country
162
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:56.159
well because of.
163
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.679
The listen to this podcast exactly.
164
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:07.879
Get out, please give me residency. You know what this
165
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.840
has just reminded me of. Though coaches often do get blamed,
166
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:14.039
you're right for bad performances, but also being blamed this
167
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.159
week for a bad performance. Is is it Megan or
168
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.440
Meghan the Stallion in Australia, we said Meghan for that name.
169
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.720
I don't know. I think Megan Megan Megan.
170
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:31.879
Megan, Meg the Stallion, Meg, who obviously is a music
171
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.759

the absolute king of a boyfriend he is. Has come
187
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.320
out and sort of said, guys, the reason I'm not
188
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.720
playing well is because I'm kind of old and past
189
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.480
my prime. Don't like, keep my girlfriend's name out your mouth.
190
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.080
It's not her phone. He's so good, which is which
191
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.080
is great. It's sweet of him.
192
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.039
He's lovely and very funny. Yes, he is hands down
193
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:53.799
my favorite, my favorite, favorite favorite person to listen to
194
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:58.000
speak about himself playing basketball because he's really he's very
195
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.679
weird in a great way. He's very weird.
196
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:02.679
I've never heard him talk about.
197
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.559
Oh my gosh, that there are Klay Thompson's stories, Like like,
198
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.960
just go on YouTube and hit like Klay Thompson stories
199
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.480
and you're gonna hear people tell stories about him. Like
200
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:13.759
he has a mega contrast.
201
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.799
He drives. He drives like a Toyota or something.
202
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.159
He drives a Toyota. He picked up his teammate in
203
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.039
an uber to take him to the game.
204
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.759
He also picked up He picked up Megan the Stallion
205
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.399
from the airport the other day with flowers, and he
206
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.759
was a bit like La and he's like and he's like,
207
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:30.679
he's like, oh, I can't believe I was late. I
208
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.240
misjudged the you know what, there's no excuse. Yeah, he's
209
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:35.159
so funny.
210
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.039
He's very relatable, like for somebody who has a lot
211
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.440
of money and a lot of I don't think he
212
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:41.840
knows it.
213
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.000
He's pretty No, he's not noticed.
214
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:46.159
It's also funny that he's dating Megan the Sell in
215
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.840
the Stallion now because he did an interview years back
216
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:55.039
before his beloved dog Rocco past away, and they're asking
217
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:56.639
if he has anyone special in his life, and he's like,
218
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.000
I got Rocco, and they're like, well, what about anybody else.
219
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:00.279
He's like, I don't have time for anybody else.
220
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.720
He used to be on my dating apps. But and
221
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:08.080
I used to be like, oh great, I could. I
222
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.039
guess I could date Clay. But now I've realized that
223
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.879
I actually needed to be made still. I needed to
224
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.679
be a fair bit more impressive.
225
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.039
During during his Rocko era. There's probably room on his
226
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.480
roster because I think that, like, if you just loved dogs.
227
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.799
You could get in there.
228
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:25.360
Yeah.
229
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.679
I'm actually looking for a ring on my finger not
230
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:28.919
to be on his roster.
231
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.519
So I don't know that his roster is very deep.
232
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.399
I think it would have been fine. He needed a
233
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:35.279
co dog walker.
234
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.240
Fair enough, fair enough, that works. He used to live
235
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:42.039
in in my friends building in San Francisco. When I
236
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.039
went and stayed with them, I would truly just sort
237
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:48.200
of like linger in the hallway. Any run ins, No,
238
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.840
obviously not. Otherwise I would have said that immediately first.
239
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:51.759
Yeah, that's fair.
240
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.440
You think I would have like kept that to myself.
241
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.600
I was talking. I was talking with a buddy on
242
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.799
the season of Falling for Basketball that had and he
243
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:02.840
was telling a story about having lunch with this dude
244
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:04.279
and then it turned out to be Devin Booker, and
245
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.399
I was like, Bury, though, what do you mean?
246
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.080
Like, oh, okay, right, it's the story it turned out
247
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.639
to me. Not like he was sitting there not knowing
248
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.000
who he is.
249
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.320
No, he did not know who he was.
250
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.279
What Oh my god. It's like that's you know, that's
251
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.720
scene in notting Hill where he's like, did have you
252
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:17.399
seen notting Hill?
253
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:17.879
I have you?
254
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.919
Where Julia Roberts comes to the dinner party and one
255
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.799
of the friends like bumbles in and he's like he's like, oh, so,
256
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.480
what do you do for work? And she's like, oh,
257
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.679
I'm an actor and he's like, oh, it's a tough industry,
258
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:32.960
isn't it like the salaries peanuts? Like what did you
259
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.159
make on your last film? And she's like four point
260
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.759
five million dollars and he's like, oh, that's quite good.
261
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.639
He just doesn't recognize her. That's your friend with Devin Booker.
262
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.159
Yea. And it was right. It was right before Devin
263
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:47.200
had signed like a big contract. But still I was like, yes.
264
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.600
Devin book is famous for allisoners at home. He's I mean,
265
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.919
he's a famous masketballer. But he also dated Kendall Jenner. Right,
266
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.840
that's your that's your pop culture link, that's your n
267
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:02.600
that's your n Okay, So that's who we should blame
268
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.120
bad performances on.
269
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:10.399
It's always it's always the partner. It's never never the player.
270
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:17.120
We can blame a really good performance on are insufferable
271
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:21.799
starting five? Because Victoryama, I'll never know if I.
272
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.639
Say that, right, Victor, I wouldn't be attempting at myself.
273
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.840
Just don't try b dubs Wemby. Mister Wem's took on
274
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:35.559
Draymond Green, who is known for kicking other players.
275
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.279
He's known for being in yours insufferable starting five, That's
276
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:44.039
what he's most famous for. One of one of Antonia's
277
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:45.519
top five most disliked.
278
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:47.960
He's the worst. You actually also mentioned one of the
279
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.879
worst just recently. Pat bevv is also one of the worst.
280
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.960
But he's out of the league now because he's a loser.
281
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.799
Yeah, so he's also not not your favorite.
282
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.720
Wemby, who is a young buck who studies martial arts
283
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.639
and trains with Shaolin Monks and plays chess in the park,
284
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:10.159
took on Draymond Green and his anger issues and not
285
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:15.480
only didn't take the bait but bullied Draymond during the
286
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.639
game and ended up very aggressively dunking on him. And
287
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.279
I say very aggressive, let's keep in mind that he's
288
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:21.960
seven foot six and it wasn't that aggresive because he's
289
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.039
basically as tall as the rim.
290
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.399
But he just popped the ball above his head.
291
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.480
Yeah it's a little and it went in the basket,
292
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.000
but he did it making sure that his whole body
293
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.279
landed on top of Draymond and then went nose to
294
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.679
nose with him, which was actually nippleed to nose because
295
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.480
he's seven to six.
296
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.919
I you know how I feel about Wemby. I think
297
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.879
he's too tall to play all. It's not impressive one.
298
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.799
It's like if you're like, oh, you're really hot and
299
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:46.679
you're going to like go be a Victoria's Sacret model,
300
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:51.559
like do something interesting. God, Like that's so obvious. Account
301
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:55.039
be a mathematician, Like come on, same thing, Like, oh,
302
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.039
you're seven foot six and you play basketball. How original.
303
00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.399
But he's grown on me more and more and I
304
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.440
love that he Like, yeah, I love it, he's growing
305
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:04.720
on me.
306
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:06.559
The fact that he dunked on believe that.
307
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:06.879
Man.
308
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.840
Yeah, someone's got to do it. Someone's got to step
309
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:11.480
up to him. And for it to be a twenty
310
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.519
two year old who happens to be seven to six, it.
311
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.879
Looks like you could snap like a twig because he's
312
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:18.320
so tall and gumby.
313
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:23.279
Like, I just appreciate how child like and childish Draymond
314
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.000
looks under Yeah.
315
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.720
It's cool, it's funny, it's good. It's good.
316
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:31.879
That was That was my good feels for the week.
317
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.279
Also my good feels for the week that made me
318
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:38.519
feel bad was that Bronni James, who is the son
319
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.919
of Lebron James, started in a Lakers game, which I
320
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:46.080
never thought would happen because it shouldn't and Lebron James
321
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.559
checked himself into not rehab the G League, which is
322
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:51.480
rehab for players J League.
323
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:52.720
Explain what the JL is.
324
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.879
The G League is the developmental basketball league that's underneath
325
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.399
the NBA. So it's like the NBA's farm team. It's
326
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.039
where young players can like can like be pulled up
327
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.119
from and get their shot. It's where rookies can be
328
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.480
sent to to kind of like work on their game
329
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:09.119
and get better.
330
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:11.680
And it's where like, if you have people on your
331
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.279
roster in a proper NBA team, you can be like,
332
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.359
this person like needs a little more work or like
333
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:19.480
needs to come up to professional standards, Let's send them
334
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.079
to our G League team for a little bit. And
335
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.039
also if you get injured, if you get if one
336
00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:25.839
of your players gets injured, you can pull someone from
337
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.359
your G League team up on a what do they
338
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.799
called them? How many day contracts?
339
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.599
We get? Ten day contract? Yeah? Yeah, but you would
340
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.559
never send a superstar there. No, I don't think it's
341
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:36.200
ever happened.
342
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:39.920
When it first when it was when I first read it,
343
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.400
it was like Lebron James practicing with the G League
344
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:48.000
this week or whatever, And I was like, and the
345
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.240
comments agreed with me. Everyone was sort of like, that's
346
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.119
so funny because Bronnie, who is Lebron's son, who is
347
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.480
also on the Lakers and is considered to be a nepo,
348
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.000
a neo higher on the Lakers because he's you know,
349
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.279
he's he's a good basketball player, but he's not, you know,
350
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:11.000
not all that he and his name is Lebron James Jr. Ronnie.
351
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.680
They call him Bronni James, but his name is Lebron
352
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.359
James Junior, his Lebron's son. So when it was exactly
353
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:21.240
just so when it was written in when I was
354
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.119
reading all of this, you know, Lebron James gets sent
355
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.000
to the G League, people were writing in the comments underneath,
356
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:29.279
like this is such rage bait. You need to specify
357
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.160
that you're talking about Bronnie, not Lebron, because people are
358
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:34.720
going to think Lebron has been sent to the g
359
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.119
leg when obviously Bronnie has. And then it was like, oh,
360
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:39.480
oh no, no.
361
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.599
No, it's Bronnie.
362
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.599
It's actually Lebron who has been sent to the G League,
363
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.079
the actual real Lebron James.
364
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.759
Yeah, and he apparently hasn't played games there, but he's
365
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.000
been practicing with the G League team and he's.
366
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.640
Been like, how cool for those players?
367
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.240
How cool for those players? Yeah, it's a great opportunity
368
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:03.200
for them. It's also the weird thing, like why why why? Actually,
369
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.000
why have anywhere better to go play and practice?
370
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.039
Why is he there Antonio.
371
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.000
Because he has sciatica? Because he's old?
372
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:12.839
Is that the reason?
373
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:14.440
I don't know. That's the only reason that I've come
374
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.759
across is that he's rehabbing his injury. But like, like
375
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.960
he can't just go to an anytime fitness and run
376
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.640
with the old heads there, Like what do we why
377
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.039
we want to say, he can't just call like Dwayne
378
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.400
and Carmelo and fly them in and be like, hey,
379
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.079
can you guys come train for for a week.
380
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:30.559
Well, maybe he's probably better to train with the j
381
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:31.839
leg than it is to train.
382
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.200
With Probably they're in better shape.
383
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:35.279
Yeah exactly.
384
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:37.200
I just think that's so strange.
385
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.640
It's funny, that's fair.
386
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:39.720
Is it an ego boost?
387
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:41.119
I don't know, it's interesting.
388
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.160
Yeah, you know what else is interesting?
389
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.119
Tell us, won't you.
390
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.559
Lebron's going to go to jail one day?
391
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.400
Oh my god. Okay, So, as as anyone who's been
392
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.799
listening to this podcast knows, it is at its heart
393
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:59.599
an FBI podcast. It's about us investigating crimes, and you know,
394
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:04.039
things will come up, crimes against fashion, crimes against dating,
395
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:09.359
crimes against hair but against hairstyling, and so on and
396
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:14.920
so forth, but more crime. Like we've been talking about
397
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.319
all these gambling scandals that are going in the NBA
398
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:22.240
and sports betting and fixing games and things. And since
399
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.799
last we spoke on Saturday, a bunch more teams have
400
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:27.880
been like the FBI has been like, we need phone
401
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:31.559
records from heaps of other teams in the NBA for
402
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:38.359
fixing games, including two Lebron associates. I've had their phone
403
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:40.920
records subpoenaed by.
404
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:43.319
Is that the word that's almost a smoking gun?
405
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:52.119
It's to me popping in the comments if that's not
406
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:56.480
the right word, subpoene.
407
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.559
Yeah, So I don't. I don't. I don't think Lebron's
408
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:05.680
going to go to jail, but I'm gonna say it
409
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.480
on the podcast so that if it happens, we can
410
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.119
pullout this episode and you could be like, oh my gosh,
411
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:12.240
that is you know.
412
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.319
That's so smart. I just the only thing I wish
413
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.119
is that I mean, obviously, this is an audio this
414
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.640
is an audio sport podcasting, but we are currently sitting
415
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:24.640
on a video call to each other as we chat
416
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:26.759
and if we need to pull this up, like, oh
417
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.160
my god, heard it here first Lebron's going to jail. Unfortunately,
418
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.920
I've never seen your video quality worse my video ise
419
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:36.480
now your ability, God is so. You look like a ghost,
420
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.160
like an apparition, Like you keep coming in and out
421
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.640
of like you've got a green screen background. The light
422
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.400
is terrible, like aren't you an actor? Do you not
423
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:51.359
have like a ring light or something. I'm just I'm
424
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:54.519
sitting at a window and I look absolutely, I.
425
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:55.960
Look phenomenal, stunning.
426
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:58.799
I want you to imagine the most beautiful girl you've
427
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:03.400
ever seen. You're thinking about me, like the natural light
428
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.440
is astonishing right now, like I could be a victorious.
429
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.200
It would it would be too obvious for me to
430
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.200
become a victorious. That's how I look.
431
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:13.160
I'll send you this picture so you can see absolutely
432
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:16.839
like you look. You are looking great over there, and
433
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:20.480
I am making you look so much better than even
434
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.119
could be imagined. I look like a specter. I look
435
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:25.400
like father Christmas.
436
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:30.440
You really dumb, you don't, you don't look good? You
437
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.880
don't and look when you're coming close to your hair
438
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.119
looks really crazy too. You look like a mad scientist.
439
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:38.880
Yeah. Also, when I turn in certain directions, parts of
440
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:39.799
my head disappears.
441
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.079
That's why you look like an apparition. It's because they're green.
442
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:44.519
It's because your headphones are green. Oh yeah, do you
443
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:45.759
not understand how this works?
444
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:50.839
No? Oh my god? How many green screen because you
445
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:52.839
have to see the color green to understand how that works.
446
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.359
Oh yeah, okay, not my thing. That's not my foretee
447
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.000
colors accurately, is not in my.
448
00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.720
Wheelhouse, that is not his forte.
449
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:04.720
You'll once I get my computer fixed, watch out because
450
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.599
my computer has an amazing camera, but the computer I'm
451
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:09.680
on is trizz ash.
452
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:11.920
Everyone's going to be looking good once you get that
453
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.119
computer back. But for now, just.
454
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.279
Me right now. It's just you right now. But you
455
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:19.799
know what, my AI background looks amazing?
456
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.440
Yeah, it does so. Uh there's that it looks like
457
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:29.440
the house of a pseudo intellectual. No, I think it
458
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.599
looks like, you know, one of those it's one of
459
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:35.240
those things like it looks like the POV of you're
460
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:37.119
twenty three years old and you're about to dot committee.
461
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.799
That's what your house and that's what that background looks like,
462
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:42.200
like a cassette on the wall.
463
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.680
You end up at this person's house. Yeah, tonight, it's
464
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:50.759
going to go well yeah, yeah, it's amazing. That's it amazing.
465
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:55.559
Anything else, I don't I don't know anything else about basketball.
466
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.000
There's nothing else going on. The only thing that I
467
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:58.880
was going to say. I mentioned this to you when
468
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.079
we were talking the other day. I feel like scores
469
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:04.079
this year are higher than I've ever seen. And I
470
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:06.920
also feel like all of the old players in the NBA,
471
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.119
the guys who are like pushing my age, are somehow
472
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.640
all scoring thirty to fifty points a week and I
473
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.240
can't figure out how. Yeah, it's like the old players
474
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:17.720
doing it.
475
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:19.160
The glory days.
476
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.920
Yeah, like they've they've rolled back the clock. And part
477
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.319
of it, I think is that maybe no one's playing
478
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:28.799
defense and the scores are just so blown out of
479
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:32.720
proportion that these guys who have deep bags of tricks.
480
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.119
Oh yeah. Because this is a terminology podcast. When you
481
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.079
talk about somebody having a deep bag or they're in
482
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:45.400
their bag, you're talking about inherent skills that they've acquired,
483
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.039
things that they can just do, like unconsciously in their sleep.
484
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:52.200
So when you say someone's in his bag, it means
485
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:54.880
that he is, like he's playing out of his mind,
486
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:55.240
he's playing.
487
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:58.599
I absolutely obsessed with the fact that you just explained
488
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:00.720
to these people what a bag of tricks, as though
489
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.519
that's not just a normal term but everyone uses.
490
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.359
But only when you say bag of tricks. But in
491
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.960
basketball you don't say bag of tricks. You say like,
492
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.720
is in his bag? In his bag? But you're right,
493
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.680
bag of tricks would be. But I don't know, there's
494
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.319
probably some people who thought that was about cereal.
495
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:21.400
You are not giving a brilliant, bright, clever audience nearly
496
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.599
enough credit. Oh my god, the app he's gone disappear.
497
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:28.920
Oh that's wild. I didn't see that coming.
498
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:31.839
That's how I know I've said something really funny.
499
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:33.480
If you disappear, could.
500
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:34.400
You go like full back?
501
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:40.000
We haven't. We haven't done deep dives on any of
502
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:42.119
these players, but I do just want to give like
503
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.480
a quick shout out to the names across the league
504
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:47.960
that are just old men in the league who are
505
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.000
still here and doing it at a high level. We
506
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:54.480
know Lebron Kevin Durant. He freshly shaved his head so
507
00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:57.680
you can barely see his receding hairline, and I thought
508
00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.640
that was really good for him. While he scored thirty
509
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.160
plus waits a couple of games in a row. James
510
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.519
Harden uh is scoring?
511
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:06.160
City him old?
512
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:10.880
He's yeah, absolutely, he's old. He's as old as Kevin.
513
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.319
They played together in Oklahoma.
514
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:18.160
Yeah, I guess he is. He feels he feels like Kevin. Yeah,
515
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:20.519
he feels a level under, but I guess he is
516
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:21.119
the same age.
517
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.960
I think he feels young because when you hear him speak,
518
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.200
you're like, m grade nine education.
519
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.119
Yeah, yeah, Kevin.
520
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.839
And you know what, people blame uh, the spouses for
521
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:38.279
bad games, But why are we not crediting the spouses
522
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:40.799
for good games? Because I bet you the fact that
523
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.480
James Harden is seeing a resurgence is because he's.
524
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.319
He in love. He's in love with a cool girl.
525
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:48.960
He's happy.
526
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:50.279
Do you know her her name is?
527
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.000
I'm about to tell you.
528
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:54.599
I know what I know what she looks like, I
529
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.119
know what she does.
530
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.160
He has a cute name, yeah, Page.
531
00:26:59.039 --> 00:26:59.759
Page, that's it.
532
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:00.599
Page.
533
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:02.960
And they have they both have kids at the same age,
534
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.720
and the kids maybe they just decide their brothers. I
535
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:11.880
think it is Page spits or spies. Yeah, spits.
536
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:13.640
I shouldn't know how to pronounce that.
537
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.920
It doesn't matter. Steph Curry, old man, scoring a lot
538
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:20.880
of There was one other.
539
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:22.400
Old guy, Russell Westbrook.
540
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:24.799
Russell Westbrook is playing very well right now.
541
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:28.160
Anyways, Kawhi, he's old.
542
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:33.480
Yeah, but he's not playing. But yeah, I know that's true.
543
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:35.799
That's true. I just mentioned him as a way into
544
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:39.319
talking about old people, because this is also it's for
545
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:40.680
a geriatric podcast.
546
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.720
Podcast for people who love the FBI and the elderly.
547
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:50.240
The elderly. It's nice, it's nice. Well, no, what were
548
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:51.480
you going to say? No, you first, no, go.
549
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.640
Ahead, I wasn't. I was just going to say that's all,
550
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:57.839
that's all in good luck.
551
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:03.319
I was gonna say, uh, today, we will leave you
552
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.759
with a deep dive coming up next on the Indiana
553
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:13.759
Pacers in the history of this beloved franchise. And when
554
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:17.920
I say beloved, I mean it's only beloved in the northwest, Midwest.
555
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:18.839
Where's Indiana?
556
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.119
It's it's near New York?
557
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:27.319
Is it really? Indiana's near New York? Are you making
558
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:27.799
this up?
559
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:28.720

I ve from New York to Indiana.
563
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:40.240
I'm American at heart, and you know it. I do
564
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.160
know that, like I like Google, but I may, I
565
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:45.559
may not in a cool way, not in like a
566
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:45.960
bad way.
567
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:50.079
We only have the good way listeners Google Map.
568
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:53.039
It's so from New York.
569
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:57.440
I could feel when you said it that it was crazy.
570
00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:59.559
It could not be further.
571
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:01.880
Nothing about American.
572
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.680
It's near Chicago.
573
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:04.680
It's near Chicago. Okay, I can give you.
574
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.039
That cool Wait, hold on, hold on, just near to Chicago,
575
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:10.400
like it's below Chicago.
576
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:12.480
That doesn't mean close.
577
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:15.559
That's just it's a twelve hour drive from New York.
578
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:16.440
That's not even far.
579
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:20.640
I'm Australian, sure, yeah you yeah, A twelve hour flight
580
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:22.119

Twelve hour, a twelve hour yeah, three hour, three hour
582
00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:27.680

It's close.
588
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:38.519
How long does it take to drive.
589
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:41.440
From New York to La great question?
590
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.000
Look look this up. This is what this is what.
591
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:47.839
The people are here to find out.
592
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:49.880
I wonder if there's people listening to the podcast who
593
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:51.440
know these answers, Like, I.
594
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:54.559
Wonder if anyone is still listening to the podcast to
595
00:29:54.640 --> 00:30:00.680
this they're like, Okay, they're not googling distances forty two
596
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:02.599
hours now, that's far.
597
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:08.319
Yeah, Okay, so Indiana, Indiana's close to you, relatively speaking,
598
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:11.440
Indiana is next to you. You weren't entirely wrong just now.
599
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:14.200
I wasn't wrong at all, as I never am.
600
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.599
I we're about to leave, but I just have to say.
601
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:21.119
I was just watching a podcast with Ben Schwartz, who
602
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:25.519
I love, comedian, and a guy said something. The host
603
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:28.519
said something, and Ben Schwartz, who was very funny, just pause,
604
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:31.720
he went, I just I can't. I'm about to start
605
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.319
drooling because you said the dumbest thing I've ever heard
606
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.440
in my brain. That's what played when I heard Indiana.
607
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:41.559
And now I've I've copped it. I've copped it. I've
608
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:42.079
copped it.
609
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.160
He nailed it.
610
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:46.400
Anyway. Anyway, Definitely tuning to hear what I have to
611
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:49.279
say about Indiana because I obviously I know a lot.
612
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:50.440
It's going to be top notch.
613
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:54.000
I know a lot Okay, well let's let's go talk
614
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.559
about that now.
615
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:57.640
Yeah. In the meantime, go watch some good basketball games
616
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:00.559
and drop some comments if you saw something in a
617
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:02.440
game that you liked or hated, or you have a
618
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:08.359
question or anything. Anyways, Bye bye,
1
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.080
Hey, hey, hey, welcome back. Welcome back to the air
2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.279
up there. We're on episode four. If you can believe it,
3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.960
If you've made it this far, you're a true fan
4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.039
of super Fan, you get a gold Star. Is the
5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.000
podcast where we talk about basketball with no research, in
6
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.480
very unserious terms, but we talk about the things that
7
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:23.120
really mattered.
8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.440
I'm Antonio and I am Ellie. Antonio. You're so good
9
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.679
at doing those intros. You're like, hey, hey, hey.
10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.719
I learned it all from a podcast, pals.
11
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.280
Well, you're really good at it. Let me say, let
12
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.560
me say, that's probably what gets us all our fans.
13
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.039
I appreciate it, and our fans do too.
14
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:44.840
Yeah.
15
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.159
Well, we're back in the hot seats here to talk
16
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.280
some basketball now. For anybody who is following along at
17
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.399
home on a proper timeline, we just talk to basketball
18
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.159
on Saturday. And because this is a podcast where we're
19
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.159
not really obsessed with the game and stats, but we
20
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.159
love the game and we like talking about it. You know,
21
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.239
we're we're doing it for the people, but we don't
22
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:09.760
have that much to cover.
23
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:11.599
By doing it for you, guys, we're here for you.
24
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.799
You're it. They should feel special.
25
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:16.959
They should, But there are there are a couple of
26
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.760
little things that have been happening this week.
27
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.480
I think there was a really cool thing that happened
28
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.400
that we need to talk about because it happens every
29
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.400
season when a team's doing poorly, there is one person
30
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.519
who gets in trouble. It's the coach, and usually it's justified.
31
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:33.280
But I don't know that.
32
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.079
It always yea often though.
33
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.840
Yeah maybe often, Maybe usually it's not justified. Maybe maybe
34
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.840
that there are rare occurrences where the coach should absolutely
35
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.560
lose his job. And I happen to feel like there
36
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.519
are coaches who have their jobs who should have lost
37
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.280
their jobs even though they're doing kind of well because
38
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.400
they suck. But the guy who got fired this week
39
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.040
is a dude named Willie Green, and he is the
40
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.680
coach of the New Orleans Pelicans.
41
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.719
I've never heard of Willy Grain, and I forgot the
42
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:08.719
Pelicans existed.
43
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:10.439
That's why he got fired.
44
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.240
Yeah, like what the Pelicans kits real?
45
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.960
WILLI Green used to Did he ever play? Heah? Yeah,
46
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.199
so Willy Green was a player. Let's listen to the
47
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:26.719
teams that he was on and we can see what
48
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.039
we think of him as a coach. Philadelphia seventy six ers,
49
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:40.319
New Orleans Hornets at Talanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers, Orlando Magic.
50
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.159
One of those teams doesn't exist anymore.
51
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:48.599
So yeah, and all of them are questionable. Like if
52
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.719
a player came from one of those teams and wanted
53
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.400
to coach, you should say no.
54
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.439
I'd say no. Get Ellie or Antonio over there, over
55
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:57.120
this guy.
56
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:02.039
WILLI We're available? Will we know elevator doors? Willie Green,
57
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.759
Willy Green, big mean Willie Green got fired after twelve
58
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.680
games this season. His team is two and ten. Now
59
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.120
here's why this one might not be justified. His team
60
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.879
traded away Brandon Ingram to my Toronto Raptors. Brandon Ingram
61
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.759
is a fantastic scorer, but he was injured quite a bit.
62
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.199
They also have a young man whose name is Zion Williamson.
63
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.840
Here's how you might know him, and let's cut to
64
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:40.400
the chase. You don't you could he? I think right now.
65
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.400
He's known for being out of shape and having half
66
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.439
as many kids as Anthony Edwards.
67
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.080
Yeah he's Yeah, he's embroiled in some sort of.
68
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:58.800
With his X and a porn star. I think those
69
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.800
are his two the two muses in his.
70
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:07.639
Life as in his life, and he was meant to
71
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:08.280
be really good.
72
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.400
He in college, he was fantastic. He's a beast of
73
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:16.639
a human being, very very big, big man, fast, huge dude.
74
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.519
And this season he did a thing in the off
75
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.720
season that he posted all over Instagram and he wanted
76
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.480
a lot of credit for he got in shape. Now,
77
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.480
let's just break that down for a second. He's a
78
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.879
basketball player. Yeah, isn't that his job? Huge?
79
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:32.600
Congrats?
80
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.519
What I don't understand. I don't understand.
81
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.600
They're not all in shape, so but they're supposed to be.
82
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.560
Yeah, it is literally a core component of their job.
83
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.680
Well, I mean no, their job is put put the
84
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:48.600
ball in the basket.
85
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.160
But you can't do that if you're if you're carrying
86
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:58.160
around an extra hundred Well Luca, yeah, but even Lucas.
87
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.800
I think it is proven that Luca was not out
88
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.600
of shape because he could do what he could do right.
89
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.879
He wasn't like, he wasn't in Zion shape.
90
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:11.920
I'll tell you who is out of shape.
91
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:13.199
Who's out of shape? Me?
92
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:18.240
I couldn't even run run the length of a basketball court.
93
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:27.240
Breaking news me too, Breaking news me. My cardio is
94
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.399
not at its best right now.
95
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:33.600
No, my Cardio is not good. But yeah, he got
96
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.959
he got fired. But also to know is that coaches
97
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.000
always get fired in the NBA.
98
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:40.959
Always.
99
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.120
It's happening all the time. So you know, I don't
100
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.519
think this is news news, No, it just happens all
101
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:48.279
the time.
102
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.040
Well, here's the more loyalty. There's no loyalty in this part,
103
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.879
just in this part of the game specifically. But but
104
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.680
but here's what's even crazier. Okay, when a coach gets fired,
105
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.920
they replaced the coach with another coach who has recently
106
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:04.519
been fired.
107
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're like, oh, let's take the
108
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.560
disgraced former coach of the Portland Trailblazer.
109
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.920
Like it's the stupidest thing. So so the coach that
110
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.079
they're currently looking at, one of the coaches they're looking
111
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.319
at is Darvin Ham, who was the coach of the
112
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.879
Lakers who got fired after a season because they couldn't
113
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.439
win with Brownie James and that was somehow his fault. Actually,
114
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.879
maybe he's pre Brownie. I don't know. It just sounded
115
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:29.279
good when I.
116
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.720
Said it again.
117
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:37.120
Who's Darvin Ham? Darvin Ham again, former former player that
118
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.480
if we looked up his career stats, you'd kind of
119
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.120
go like, I don't know if this speeching speaking of
120
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.879
coaching and funny things the I don't know if he's
121
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:54.240
the current coach or the former coach of Minnesota, Chris Finch,
122
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.920
I can't remember. Anyways, a guy named Chris Finch was
123
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.360
on a podcast. He has coached in the past. I
124
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.959
think he's the coach of Minnesota right now. I could
125
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.319
be very wrong about that. Anyways, that part is less relevant.
126
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.560
He was on a podcast and he was making the
127
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.680
same joke that we make, which is that everybody needs
128
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.959
a podcast, that everyone who's listening to this podcast is
129
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.680
going to go home and start a podcast, absolutely, And
130
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.439
they were talking about what being a podcaster qualifies you
131
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:22.040
for and he took a scorching hot shot at JJ
132
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.800
Reddick because he said, well, you know, you get a podcast,
133
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.399
I mean it qualifies you to be the head coach
134
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:27.959
of the Lakers.
135
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.519
JJ Redick is the current head coach of the Lakers
136
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.040
and also an ex player, And go back and listen
137
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.079
to episode one to learn more about him and the Lakers.
138
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.800
He had a great podcast for the past few years
139
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.160
he did called The Old Man and the Three like
140
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.199
Easily basketball podcast.
141
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.680
One of the more famous basketball podcasts.
142
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.399
Yeah, yeah, but like just narrowly behind ours.
143
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.600
Yes, yes, yeah, obviously know this one. Obviously what is he?
144
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.439
I mean, I don't think we even need to say that.
145
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.879
So Willie Green is like he's on a list of
146
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.959
coaches fired very quickly. And I did not do a
147
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.120
deep dive on this, but I did do a very
148
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.240
cursory Google search. I think that the fastest firing was
149
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:13.519
like six games.
150
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.439
Yeah, like give him a chance.
151
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.120
Steve Nash. When Steve brought in, he was fired very quickly.
152
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.639
And he was a former player, and he was a
153
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.240
former two time MVP, like All.
154
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.560
All, All Star. He's a name you may have heard.
155
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.759
Yeah. Also you probably know him because he's Canadian.
156
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.480
Like how many how many of our listeners a Canadian?
157
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:39.639
At least one.
158
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.080
I don't want to do this anymore.
159
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.879
I think the Canadians are listening because of you.
160
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:52.600
They just love love but getting roasted that's our jam. Yeah.
161
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.519
I'm going to probably be kicked out of the country
162
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:56.159
well because of.
163
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.679
The listen to this podcast exactly.
164
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:07.879
Get out, please give me residency. You know what this
165
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.840
has just reminded me of. Though coaches often do get blamed,
166
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:14.039
you're right for bad performances, but also being blamed this
167
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.159
week for a bad performance. Is is it Megan or
168
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.440
Meghan the Stallion in Australia, we said Meghan for that name.
169
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.720
I don't know. I think Megan Megan Megan.
170
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:31.879
Megan, Meg the Stallion, Meg, who obviously is a music
171
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.759
superstar and is dating in one of the cutest relationships ever,
172
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.639
cutest cutest Clay.
173
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.360
Who is on Thompson.
174
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.039
Who was on the Dallas Mavericks.
175
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.240
You would have heard us mention him in relation to
176
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.960
Steph Curry and the Splash Brothers. He's a part of Splash.
177
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.480
So he's an ex Golden State Warriors superstar with Steph Curry,
178
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.360
they were They're just this iconic duo. He's a he's
179
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.919
a fairly beloved player. He's now a the Dallas Mavericks

on his new relationship amazing and Clay being you know,

the absolute king of a boyfriend he is. Has come
187
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.320
out and sort of said, guys, the reason I'm not
188
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.720
playing well is because I'm kind of old and past
189
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.480
my prime. Don't like, keep my girlfriend's name out your mouth.
190
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.080
It's not her phone. He's so good, which is which
191
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.080
is great. It's sweet of him.
192
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.039
He's lovely and very funny. Yes, he is hands down
193
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:53.799
my favorite, my favorite, favorite favorite person to listen to
194
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:58.000
speak about himself playing basketball because he's really he's very
195
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.679
weird in a great way. He's very weird.
196
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:02.679
I've never heard him talk about.
197
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.559
Oh my gosh, that there are Klay Thompson's stories, Like like,
198
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.960
just go on YouTube and hit like Klay Thompson stories
199
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.480
and you're gonna hear people tell stories about him. Like
200
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:13.759
he has a mega contrast.
201
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.799
He drives. He drives like a Toyota or something.
202
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.159
He drives a Toyota. He picked up his teammate in
203
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.039
an uber to take him to the game.
204
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.759
He also picked up He picked up Megan the Stallion
205
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.399
from the airport the other day with flowers, and he
206
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.759
was a bit like La and he's like and he's like,
207
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:30.679
he's like, oh, I can't believe I was late. I
208
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.240
misjudged the you know what, there's no excuse. Yeah, he's
209
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:35.159
so funny.
210
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.039
He's very relatable, like for somebody who has a lot
211
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.440
of money and a lot of I don't think he
212
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:41.840
knows it.
213
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.000
He's pretty No, he's not noticed.
214
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:46.159
It's also funny that he's dating Megan the Sell in
215
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.840
the Stallion now because he did an interview years back
216
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:55.039
before his beloved dog Rocco past away, and they're asking
217
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:56.639
if he has anyone special in his life, and he's like,
218
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.000
I got Rocco, and they're like, well, what about anybody else.
219
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:00.279
He's like, I don't have time for anybody else.
220
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.720
He used to be on my dating apps. But and
221
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:08.080
I used to be like, oh great, I could. I
222
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.039
guess I could date Clay. But now I've realized that
223
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.879
I actually needed to be made still. I needed to
224
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.679
be a fair bit more impressive.
225
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.039
During during his Rocko era. There's probably room on his
226
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.480
roster because I think that, like, if you just loved dogs.
227
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.799
You could get in there.
228
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:25.360
Yeah.
229
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.679
I'm actually looking for a ring on my finger not
230
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:28.919
to be on his roster.
231
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.519
So I don't know that his roster is very deep.
232
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.399
I think it would have been fine. He needed a
233
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:35.279
co dog walker.
234
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.240
Fair enough, fair enough, that works. He used to live
235
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:42.039
in in my friends building in San Francisco. When I
236
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.039
went and stayed with them, I would truly just sort
237
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:48.200
of like linger in the hallway. Any run ins, No,
238
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.840
obviously not. Otherwise I would have said that immediately first.
239
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:51.759
Yeah, that's fair.
240
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.440
You think I would have like kept that to myself.
241
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.600
I was talking. I was talking with a buddy on
242
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.799
the season of Falling for Basketball that had and he
243
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:02.840
was telling a story about having lunch with this dude
244
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:04.279
and then it turned out to be Devin Booker, and
245
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.399
I was like, Bury, though, what do you mean?
246
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.080
Like, oh, okay, right, it's the story it turned out
247
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.639
to me. Not like he was sitting there not knowing
248
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.000
who he is.
249
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.320
No, he did not know who he was.
250
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.279
What Oh my god. It's like that's you know, that's
251
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.720
scene in notting Hill where he's like, did have you
252
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:17.399
seen notting Hill?
253
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:17.879
I have you?
254
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.919
Where Julia Roberts comes to the dinner party and one
255
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.799
of the friends like bumbles in and he's like he's like, oh, so,
256
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.480
what do you do for work? And she's like, oh,
257
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.679
I'm an actor and he's like, oh, it's a tough industry,
258
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:32.960
isn't it like the salaries peanuts? Like what did you
259
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.159
make on your last film? And she's like four point
260
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.759
five million dollars and he's like, oh, that's quite good.
261
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.639
He just doesn't recognize her. That's your friend with Devin Booker.
262
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.159
Yea. And it was right. It was right before Devin
263
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:47.200
had signed like a big contract. But still I was like, yes.
264
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.600
Devin book is famous for allisoners at home. He's I mean,
265
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.919
he's a famous masketballer. But he also dated Kendall Jenner. Right,
266
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.840
that's your that's your pop culture link, that's your n
267
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:02.600
that's your n Okay, So that's who we should blame
268
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.120
bad performances on.
269
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:10.399
It's always it's always the partner. It's never never the player.
270
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:17.120
We can blame a really good performance on are insufferable
271
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:21.799
starting five? Because Victoryama, I'll never know if I.
272
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.639
Say that, right, Victor, I wouldn't be attempting at myself.
273
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.840
Just don't try b dubs Wemby. Mister Wem's took on
274
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:35.559
Draymond Green, who is known for kicking other players.
275
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.279
He's known for being in yours insufferable starting five, That's
276
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:44.039
what he's most famous for. One of one of Antonia's
277
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:45.519
top five most disliked.
278
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:47.960
He's the worst. You actually also mentioned one of the
279
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.879
worst just recently. Pat bevv is also one of the worst.
280
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.960
But he's out of the league now because he's a loser.
281
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.799
Yeah, so he's also not not your favorite.
282
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.720
Wemby, who is a young buck who studies martial arts
283
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.639
and trains with Shaolin Monks and plays chess in the park,
284
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:10.159
took on Draymond Green and his anger issues and not
285
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:15.480
only didn't take the bait but bullied Draymond during the
286
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.639
game and ended up very aggressively dunking on him. And
287
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.279
I say very aggressive, let's keep in mind that he's
288
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:21.960
seven foot six and it wasn't that aggresive because he's
289
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.039
basically as tall as the rim.
290
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.399
But he just popped the ball above his head.
291
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.480
Yeah it's a little and it went in the basket,
292
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.000
but he did it making sure that his whole body
293
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.279
landed on top of Draymond and then went nose to
294
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.679
nose with him, which was actually nippleed to nose because
295
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.480
he's seven to six.
296
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.919
I you know how I feel about Wemby. I think
297
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.879
he's too tall to play all. It's not impressive one.
298
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.799
It's like if you're like, oh, you're really hot and
299
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:46.679
you're going to like go be a Victoria's Sacret model,
300
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:51.559
like do something interesting. God, Like that's so obvious. Account
301
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:55.039
be a mathematician, Like come on, same thing, Like, oh,
302
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.039
you're seven foot six and you play basketball. How original.
303
00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.399
But he's grown on me more and more and I
304
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.440
love that he Like, yeah, I love it, he's growing
305
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:04.720
on me.
306
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:06.559
The fact that he dunked on believe that.
307
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:06.879
Man.
308
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.840
Yeah, someone's got to do it. Someone's got to step
309
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:11.480
up to him. And for it to be a twenty
310
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.519
two year old who happens to be seven to six, it.
311
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.879
Looks like you could snap like a twig because he's
312
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:18.320
so tall and gumby.
313
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:23.279
Like, I just appreciate how child like and childish Draymond
314
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.000
looks under Yeah.
315
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.720
It's cool, it's funny, it's good. It's good.
316
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:31.879
That was That was my good feels for the week.
317
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.279
Also my good feels for the week that made me
318
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:38.519
feel bad was that Bronni James, who is the son
319
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.919
of Lebron James, started in a Lakers game, which I
320
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:46.080
never thought would happen because it shouldn't and Lebron James
321
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.559
checked himself into not rehab the G League, which is
322
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:51.480
rehab for players J League.
323
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:52.720
Explain what the JL is.
324
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.879
The G League is the developmental basketball league that's underneath
325
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.399
the NBA. So it's like the NBA's farm team. It's
326
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.039
where young players can like can like be pulled up
327
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.119
from and get their shot. It's where rookies can be
328
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.480
sent to to kind of like work on their game
329
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:09.119
and get better.
330
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:11.680
And it's where like, if you have people on your
331
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.279
roster in a proper NBA team, you can be like,
332
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.359
this person like needs a little more work or like
333
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:19.480
needs to come up to professional standards, Let's send them
334
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.079
to our G League team for a little bit. And
335
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.039
also if you get injured, if you get if one
336
00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:25.839
of your players gets injured, you can pull someone from
337
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.359
your G League team up on a what do they
338
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.799
called them? How many day contracts?
339
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.599
We get? Ten day contract? Yeah? Yeah, but you would
340
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.559
never send a superstar there. No, I don't think it's
341
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:36.200
ever happened.
342
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:39.920
When it first when it was when I first read it,
343
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.400
it was like Lebron James practicing with the G League
344
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:48.000
this week or whatever, And I was like, and the
345
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.240
comments agreed with me. Everyone was sort of like, that's
346
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.119
so funny because Bronnie, who is Lebron's son, who is
347
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.480
also on the Lakers and is considered to be a nepo,
348
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.000
a neo higher on the Lakers because he's you know,
349
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.279
he's he's a good basketball player, but he's not, you know,
350
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:11.000
not all that he and his name is Lebron James Jr. Ronnie.
351
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.680
They call him Bronni James, but his name is Lebron
352
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.359
James Junior, his Lebron's son. So when it was exactly
353
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:21.240
just so when it was written in when I was
354
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.119
reading all of this, you know, Lebron James gets sent
355
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.000
to the G League, people were writing in the comments underneath,
356
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:29.279
like this is such rage bait. You need to specify
357
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.160
that you're talking about Bronnie, not Lebron, because people are
358
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:34.720
going to think Lebron has been sent to the g
359
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.119
leg when obviously Bronnie has. And then it was like, oh,
360
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:39.480
oh no, no.
361
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.599
No, it's Bronnie.
362
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.599
It's actually Lebron who has been sent to the G League,
363
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.079
the actual real Lebron James.
364
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.759
Yeah, and he apparently hasn't played games there, but he's
365
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.000
been practicing with the G League team and he's.
366
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.640
Been like, how cool for those players?
367
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.240
How cool for those players? Yeah, it's a great opportunity
368
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:03.200
for them. It's also the weird thing, like why why why? Actually,
369
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.000
why have anywhere better to go play and practice?
370
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.039
Why is he there Antonio.
371
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.000
Because he has sciatica? Because he's old?
372
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:12.839
Is that the reason?
373
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:14.440
I don't know. That's the only reason that I've come
374
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.759
across is that he's rehabbing his injury. But like, like
375
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.960
he can't just go to an anytime fitness and run
376
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.640
with the old heads there, Like what do we why
377
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.039
we want to say, he can't just call like Dwayne
378
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.400
and Carmelo and fly them in and be like, hey,
379
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.079
can you guys come train for for a week.
380
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:30.559
Well, maybe he's probably better to train with the j
381
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:31.839
leg than it is to train.
382
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.200
With Probably they're in better shape.
383
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:35.279
Yeah exactly.
384
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:37.200
I just think that's so strange.
385
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.640
It's funny, that's fair.
386
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:39.720
Is it an ego boost?
387
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:41.119
I don't know, it's interesting.
388
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.160
Yeah, you know what else is interesting?
389
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.119
Tell us, won't you.
390
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.559
Lebron's going to go to jail one day?
391
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.400
Oh my god. Okay, So, as as anyone who's been
392
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.799
listening to this podcast knows, it is at its heart
393
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:59.599
an FBI podcast. It's about us investigating crimes, and you know,
394
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:04.039
things will come up, crimes against fashion, crimes against dating,
395
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:09.359
crimes against hair but against hairstyling, and so on and
396
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:14.920
so forth, but more crime. Like we've been talking about
397
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.319
all these gambling scandals that are going in the NBA
398
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:22.240
and sports betting and fixing games and things. And since
399
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.799
last we spoke on Saturday, a bunch more teams have
400
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:27.880
been like the FBI has been like, we need phone
401
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:31.559
records from heaps of other teams in the NBA for
402
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:38.359
fixing games, including two Lebron associates. I've had their phone
403
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:40.920
records subpoenaed by.
404
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:43.319
Is that the word that's almost a smoking gun?
405
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:52.119
It's to me popping in the comments if that's not
406
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:56.480
the right word, subpoene.
407
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.559
Yeah, So I don't. I don't. I don't think Lebron's
408
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:05.680
going to go to jail, but I'm gonna say it
409
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.480
on the podcast so that if it happens, we can
410
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.119
pullout this episode and you could be like, oh my gosh,
411
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:12.240
that is you know.
412
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.319
That's so smart. I just the only thing I wish
413
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.119
is that I mean, obviously, this is an audio this
414
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.640
is an audio sport podcasting, but we are currently sitting
415
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:24.640
on a video call to each other as we chat
416
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:26.759
and if we need to pull this up, like, oh
417
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.160
my god, heard it here first Lebron's going to jail. Unfortunately,
418
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.920
I've never seen your video quality worse my video ise
419
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:36.480
now your ability, God is so. You look like a ghost,
420
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.160
like an apparition, Like you keep coming in and out
421
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.640
of like you've got a green screen background. The light
422
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.400
is terrible, like aren't you an actor? Do you not
423
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:51.359
have like a ring light or something. I'm just I'm
424
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:54.519
sitting at a window and I look absolutely, I.
425
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:55.960
Look phenomenal, stunning.
426
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:58.799
I want you to imagine the most beautiful girl you've
427
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:03.400
ever seen. You're thinking about me, like the natural light
428
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.440
is astonishing right now, like I could be a victorious.
429
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.200
It would it would be too obvious for me to
430
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.200
become a victorious. That's how I look.
431
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:13.160
I'll send you this picture so you can see absolutely
432
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:16.839
like you look. You are looking great over there, and
433
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:20.480
I am making you look so much better than even
434
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.119
could be imagined. I look like a specter. I look
435
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:25.400
like father Christmas.
436
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:30.440
You really dumb, you don't, you don't look good? You
437
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.880
don't and look when you're coming close to your hair
438
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.119
looks really crazy too. You look like a mad scientist.
439
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:38.880
Yeah. Also, when I turn in certain directions, parts of
440
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:39.799
my head disappears.
441
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.079
That's why you look like an apparition. It's because they're green.
442
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:44.519
It's because your headphones are green. Oh yeah, do you
443
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:45.759
not understand how this works?
444
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:50.839
No? Oh my god? How many green screen because you
445
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:52.839
have to see the color green to understand how that works.
446
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.359
Oh yeah, okay, not my thing. That's not my foretee
447
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.000
colors accurately, is not in my.
448
00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.720
Wheelhouse, that is not his forte.
449
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:04.720
You'll once I get my computer fixed, watch out because
450
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.599
my computer has an amazing camera, but the computer I'm
451
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:09.680
on is trizz ash.
452
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:11.920
Everyone's going to be looking good once you get that
453
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.119
computer back. But for now, just.
454
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.279
Me right now. It's just you right now. But you
455
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:19.799
know what, my AI background looks amazing?
456
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.440
Yeah, it does so. Uh there's that it looks like
457
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:29.440
the house of a pseudo intellectual. No, I think it
458
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.599
looks like, you know, one of those it's one of
459
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:35.240
those things like it looks like the POV of you're
460
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:37.119
twenty three years old and you're about to dot committee.
461
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.799
That's what your house and that's what that background looks like,
462
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:42.200
like a cassette on the wall.
463
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.680
You end up at this person's house. Yeah, tonight, it's
464
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:50.759
going to go well yeah, yeah, it's amazing. That's it amazing.
465
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:55.559
Anything else, I don't I don't know anything else about basketball.
466
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.000
There's nothing else going on. The only thing that I
467
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:58.880
was going to say. I mentioned this to you when
468
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.079
we were talking the other day. I feel like scores
469
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:04.079
this year are higher than I've ever seen. And I
470
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:06.920
also feel like all of the old players in the NBA,
471
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.119
the guys who are like pushing my age, are somehow
472
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.640
all scoring thirty to fifty points a week and I
473
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.240
can't figure out how. Yeah, it's like the old players
474
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:17.720
doing it.
475
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:19.160
The glory days.
476
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.920
Yeah, like they've they've rolled back the clock. And part
477
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.319
of it, I think is that maybe no one's playing
478
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:28.799
defense and the scores are just so blown out of
479
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:32.720
proportion that these guys who have deep bags of tricks.
480
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.119
Oh yeah. Because this is a terminology podcast. When you
481
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.079
talk about somebody having a deep bag or they're in
482
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:45.400
their bag, you're talking about inherent skills that they've acquired,
483
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.039
things that they can just do, like unconsciously in their sleep.
484
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:52.200
So when you say someone's in his bag, it means
485
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:54.880
that he is, like he's playing out of his mind,
486
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:55.240
he's playing.
487
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:58.599
I absolutely obsessed with the fact that you just explained
488
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:00.720
to these people what a bag of tricks, as though
489
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.519
that's not just a normal term but everyone uses.
490
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.359
But only when you say bag of tricks. But in
491
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.960
basketball you don't say bag of tricks. You say like,
492
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.720
is in his bag? In his bag? But you're right,
493
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.680
bag of tricks would be. But I don't know, there's
494
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.319
probably some people who thought that was about cereal.
495
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:21.400
You are not giving a brilliant, bright, clever audience nearly
496
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.599
enough credit. Oh my god, the app he's gone disappear.
497
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:28.920
Oh that's wild. I didn't see that coming.
498
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:31.839
That's how I know I've said something really funny.
499
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:33.480
If you disappear, could.
500
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:34.400
You go like full back?
501
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:40.000
We haven't. We haven't done deep dives on any of
502
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:42.119
these players, but I do just want to give like
503
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.480
a quick shout out to the names across the league
504
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:47.960
that are just old men in the league who are
505
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.000
still here and doing it at a high level. We
506
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:54.480
know Lebron Kevin Durant. He freshly shaved his head so
507
00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:57.680
you can barely see his receding hairline, and I thought
508
00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.640
that was really good for him. While he scored thirty
509
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.160
plus waits a couple of games in a row. James
510
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.519
Harden uh is scoring?
511
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:06.160
City him old?
512
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:10.880
He's yeah, absolutely, he's old. He's as old as Kevin.
513
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.319
They played together in Oklahoma.
514
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:18.160
Yeah, I guess he is. He feels he feels like Kevin. Yeah,
515
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:20.519
he feels a level under, but I guess he is
516
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:21.119
the same age.
517
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.960
I think he feels young because when you hear him speak,
518
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.200
you're like, m grade nine education.
519
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.119
Yeah, yeah, Kevin.
520
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.839
And you know what, people blame uh, the spouses for
521
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:38.279
bad games, But why are we not crediting the spouses
522
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:40.799
for good games? Because I bet you the fact that
523
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.480
James Harden is seeing a resurgence is because he's.
524
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.319
He in love. He's in love with a cool girl.
525
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:48.960
He's happy.
526
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:50.279
Do you know her her name is?
527
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.000
I'm about to tell you.
528
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:54.599
I know what I know what she looks like, I
529
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.119
know what she does.
530
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.160
He has a cute name, yeah, Page.
531
00:26:59.039 --> 00:26:59.759
Page, that's it.
532
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:00.599
Page.
533
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:02.960
And they have they both have kids at the same age,
534
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.720
and the kids maybe they just decide their brothers. I
535
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:11.880
think it is Page spits or spies. Yeah, spits.
536
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:13.640
I shouldn't know how to pronounce that.
537
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.920
It doesn't matter. Steph Curry, old man, scoring a lot
538
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:20.880
of There was one other.
539
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:22.400
Old guy, Russell Westbrook.
540
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:24.799
Russell Westbrook is playing very well right now.
541
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:28.160
Anyways, Kawhi, he's old.
542
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:33.480
Yeah, but he's not playing. But yeah, I know that's true.
543
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:35.799
That's true. I just mentioned him as a way into
544
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:39.319
talking about old people, because this is also it's for
545
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:40.680
a geriatric podcast.
546
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.720
Podcast for people who love the FBI and the elderly.
547
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:50.240
The elderly. It's nice, it's nice. Well, no, what were
548
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:51.480
you going to say? No, you first, no, go.
549
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.640
Ahead, I wasn't. I was just going to say that's all,
550
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:57.839
that's all in good luck.
551
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:03.319
I was gonna say, uh, today, we will leave you
552
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.759
with a deep dive coming up next on the Indiana
553
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:13.759
Pacers in the history of this beloved franchise. And when
554
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:17.920
I say beloved, I mean it's only beloved in the northwest, Midwest.
555
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:18.839
Where's Indiana?
556
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.119
It's it's near New York?
557
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:27.319
Is it really? Indiana's near New York? Are you making
558
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:27.799
this up?
559
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:28.720

I ve from New York to Indiana.
563

said something, and Ben Schwartz, who was very funny, just pause,
604
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:31.720
he went, I just I can't. I'm about to start
605
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.319
drooling because you said the dumbest thing I've ever heard
606
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.440
in my brain. That's what played when I heard Indiana.
